A Holstein cow and a Red and White heifer topped more than 1,000 animals at the junior show’s Supreme Champion Pageant at the Pennsylvania Farm Show Complex.

The supreme champion cow was Savage-Leigh Gold Lona-ET, exhibited by Chase Savage, 9, of Union Bridge, Md. Chase is the son of Chip and Isha Savage of Savage-Leigh Holsteins. He has been showing cows since he was 4 years old.

Chase said that when he heard his name announced, he wanted to say “Yes!” as he led his tall 4-year-old cow to the center of the ring. He said his father picked out this excellent-92 scored cow sired by Braedale Goldwyn for him to show.

This Holstein cow has had a successful show career. In 2012, she was the first-place senior 3-year-old class winner at the Eastern Fall National Show and was part of the nominated All-American group classes senior best three females and produce of dam.

This cow is “quite exceptional, very dairy, very feminine, very clean. Overall a great cow,” said show judge Mark Reuth after the supreme announcement.

Chase took home a $2,000 cash prize and the John L. Morris Memorial Blanket. He says he is not sure what he will do with the money yet.
